I don't think you'd get even 20% of the money back you spent on 'upgrades' when you sell it.

Easier to lighten the motors (aluminum heads) and shift any dead weight in the boat to the bow. You could even move batteries up there and make a big difference...think of the leverage, and you keep the cockpit space. Then select the correct props and you are good to go.

I did some looking a year or two at what might have to be done and decided it wasn't worth even thinking about. Tanks gotta move, all the electrical, pumps , plumbing and new interior ect on this plus the glass work and transom and stringers. I think if I was going to take on a project like that I'd go back rather than forward. Invest that time and money into cutting the back of the boat off and adding 4' to the back. Find a good glass guy to tie it in nicely. Save the fuel capacity, save the cockpit and turn it into a one off 42... Or buy a different boat. Lol

isnt that what was done to the white lightening boat? heard that was a stretched 38 cig. i would call up a few people that have the full stag 38 TG's and try and get some ideas from the boats from the factory on how they made everything fit... it would be a cool project none the less.
